Progress M-35

 1997-033A


Launch mass was 7150 kg. The redocking of Progress M-35 on Aug 17 was cancelled when the on board computer shut down automatically after ground controllers loaded incorrect commands to it. A successful redocking on Aug 18 was carried out under manual control by Solov'yov when the automatic system cut out at the last minute due to Mir's loss of attitude control.

A first undocking attempt failed because the crew forgot to remove one of the clamps.
